2 ESO A/B Billingual and non bilingual

On Thursday I didn't have enough time to prepare all the activities for this week. 
I think you can all (bilingual and non bilingual ) do it, as being online you can repeat it as many times as you need.
I asked you to revise vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing. I am adding  a couple of grammar exercises  taken from the British Council website to practise Simple Past and Past continuous. 
 Task 1
Task 2

In the previous unit some of you had problems to ask questions, so you can also revise them with two tests 

Tests questions 

Finally let's focus on listening
You will also find two tasks. 
For those who find it difficult, you can display the transcript and read and listen
Oral comprehension


For fast students (for all, in fact, for those who are willing to fill their time with English) another optional activity. Listen to Rihanna's speech at Harvard. 
Can you write a short summary?

and even better, listen to Ellen's speech at Tullane University's graduation speech. 

"Some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most"

Thinking of you in the beginning of our lockdown.

ARE YOU WASHING YOUR HANDS PROPERLY? I PROMISE I AM. I HAVE BEEN FOR A WEEK AT LEAST

THE SEVEN STEPS TO WASH YOUR HANDS PROPERLY.
I have been doing that lately as I am going through a flu process which kept me home today, not Corona as far as I know... but a virus after all.

Jimmy Kimmel had dedicated a few minutes to this task a couple of years ago. So, let's learn the lesson.

The rapid spread of the Coronavirus is worrying  everywhere. Even before reading this article from the The Guardian I had thought about the situation in USA where lots of workers are not paid when they are sick or are not entitled to go to emergencies and have some tests done unless they are ready to pay enormous amounts of money and get into medical debt. 
Obama, tried to reform health care in USA and Obamacare became law. 
What is the situation nowadays? If you are interested, Let's ask Katie.
Obama's common sense precautions:

The first feminists in history?

"Sharing stories is often the way that sparks new ways of thinking about things we take for granted." that is what Joyce Meyer says in her article
about Laura Swan's book about the Beguines 

Adult women during the Middle Ages were expected to live either as a wife and mother, or dedicated to the Church and living in a convent as a nun. The Beguines questioned this concept and lived outside of these set boundaries. Women who entered Beguinages (Beguine houses and/or convents) were not bound by permanent vows, in contrast to women who entered convents. They could enter Beguinages having already been married and with children and they could leave the Beguinages to marry.

Meyer mentions in her article that

“The movement began in Belgium sometime in the mid 1100s and created much controversy. Who could accept that women might live a life of prayer, dedication to God and service to the poor outside canonically recognized Benedictine or Dominican cloisters and governed by men? Unthinkable!

Without the securities of cloistered life, the Beguines developed businesses to support themselves and their ministries to the poor, particularly women and children. Most lived alone, sometimes near a church, and others lived in small communities. The women did not make formal vows but remained celibate for life or as long as they chose and designed their own “way of life.” As this new life style developed and attracted members, Beguine villages were built, some of which are still standing today.”

Very interesting to know what happened during the Inquisition with them too.

WATCHING THE VIDEO TOGETHER AT LAST

Last year, students from 2nd and 3rd ESO researched about gender  inequality and its evolution during the last years. As part of this project, they interviewed their grandmothers and elderly women from DomusVi Home.

A video documentary was edited by three students (Xabier, Sabela and Victoria).

On Monday, as part of the activities to commemorate International Women’s Day, those students and two teachers visited the protagonists of the research and screened the video. A calendar with photographs of the protagonists had also been made and it was given to them.

It was really moving to see them again and realise how much energy they have despite their age, some of them in their late nineties. 
Amazing how much we can learn from them.

TO WATCH THE VIDEO, CLICK ON THE PHOTOGRAPH

A summary of the activity can be seen in the video edited by Cándido with  photos from Javier's camera
